He loved Legos.
My high school friend and family lost their brother/son to COVID in 2021.
I made a candle in his memory with a subtle Lego detail on top and a small in memoriam label; something so simple but so deeply tied to who he was.
It felt like a quiet way to honor him; not something loud, just something thoughtful.
Because love doesn’t end when someone leaves us, it changes shape in how we remember them.
They are not perfect, but is anything in life?
